An interesting topic you came up with, Abstract...
Hopefully no-one will find it too irrelevant with the present thread 'cause I wanted to share this poem I made some months ago... 'Twas originally made to appear on the french FC
website (available
here at the present time while moving to canadian host) since there was still no poem there in Kristin's tongue -- it even ended being sent to herself as well (along with a b-day shipping I've mentioned before somewhere already).
Actually it was not really a poem aimed at Kristin as much as at some of her fans -- her _french_ fans should I add: there's a whole bunch of youngsters on our french forum who often use to refer to her as to some sort of divine/supernatural being, you know... (^^) Which I find quite funny at times! Not that I wanted to mock them in any way though (and none of them seems to have taken it that way fortunately), yet when trying to write something, it felt natural to eventually come with this very gently ironic short thingy, to show everyone on the forum just what I find best about Kristin, and that is only basically she's "real", you know :D (hence the poem title). She may display such grace, will, beauty and all, to the point we're all /spellbound/ ^_-, but she makes it
real, she's only a normal person like every other after all. And that is really the one true miracle about her, I think. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Of course I also wanted these few lines to be kind and sweet about her in their own right...
Note: every puns or (barely) half-veiled references to Kristin's career are intended -- or at least I hope so! ;)
Quote:
___________ For Real is Fair Enough ___________
Kneel not to her -- thus lo, she does hold out her hand
Raise her not to the stars, though she did raise your hearts
I doubt she's of your dreams, though a girl of many parts
She's no goddess, really -- did she ever pretend?
Treat her not as such, yet tell her you care, gently
In reverence behold just what makes her beauty:
Not an elven princess but the real girl you see.

Ok, I hope there's not too many language mistakes here (please be so kind as to tell me if you find any, thx), and also that any of you guys might like it... Comments (good or bad ^^) and critics are very welcome as always.
...Oh, and (just in case some didn't noticed) this is an acrostic poem (^_-)
(reads " K R I S T I N " down with each starting letter on every rhyme).
